Ah, exploring the country on the open road in your RV  there's nothing quite like it, right? You've got all the conveniences of home, anywhere you roam. And since convenience is a priority, the guidance pros at Magellan teamed up with the RV enthusiasts at The Good Sam Club to make the ideal travel partner for you and your RV. The RoadMate Pro 9165T portable navigator has a big 7" display for easy viewing, plus special features like free traffic updates in most metropolitan areas to make your excursions more enjoyable.

Ah, exploring the country on the open road in your RV  there's nothing quite like it, right? You've got all the conveniences of home, anywhere you roam. And since convenience is a priority, the guidance pros at Magellan teamed up with the RV enthusiasts at The Good Sam Club to make the ideal travel partner for you and your RV. The RoadMate Pro 9165T portable navigator has a big 7" display for easy viewing, plus special features like free traffic updates in most metropolitan areas to make your excursions more enjoyable.

Take a look
The nice big windshield on your RV is great for taking in the view, but it's not always the most convenient spot for your portable navigator. The RoadMate Pro 9165T's Heavy Duty Extension Mount makes it easy to secure your navigator on the dash or windshield, and it gives you an extension arm so you can maneuver the 7" touchscreen into the optimum position.

Find your way
The RoadMate Pro 9165T features maps of the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico, plus 6 million points of interest so you can find nearby RV parking, services, and accommodations. Enter your vehicle's height, width, weight, and Hazmat type, and this navigator will find the best possible routes, avoiding narrow bridges tunnels, and other potential trouble spots. You can follow the action on the 7" display, or listen to the voice prompts that eliminate confusion by announcing actual street names at turns.

More RV fun
Magellan makes it especially easy to find stops near highway exits, so you don't waste time on a long trip. Lane guidance in the contiguous 48 states also saves you from last-second maneuvering when you need to make an important turn. The RoadMate Pro 9165T also includes U.S. and Canada campground information from Trailer Life Directory along with Good Sam Club discount locations  if you're a Good Sam Club member, you'll know if you can enjoy your discounts before pulling off the road. You'll also get info on Wi-Fi® availability, pet friendliness, and customer ratings.

More extras like Bluetooth®
It's dangerous fumbling for your phone while you're driving, but you can make and receive hands-free calls with your compatible phone through the RoadMate Pro 9165T. And you'll find that route optimization takes the hassle out of running errands by showing you the most efficient way to hit multiple spots on the same excursion. Magellan's OneTouch menu lets you save your favorite destinations and searches so you can pull them up without scrolling through multiple screens.

You can connect a rear-view camera to the 9165T through its built-in A/V input and use the navigator as a screen. Magellan does not include a connection cable for the A/V input.

Disappointing GPS

I've been using a Magellan Roadmate Pro 9165T for two months on an extended RV trip throughout Canada's Maritimes and New England. I've owned two Tom Tom GPS units previously, and as soon as I return home I'm going to dump the Magellan and get another Tom Tom. I purchased the Maggie based on its embedded Trailer Life POIs and the recommendation by Good Sam and TL, but it is one of the worst electronic investments I've ever made. Three times, using the Trailer Life POI to route me to a campground, the GPS gave me serious errors. The first was to send me to the wrong side of a marsh with no entrance to the campground. The second was to provide an incorrect address, and the third was to send me to a different campground than the one I selected, 15 miles away. In addition, the Magellan voice commands use street names when most major roadway signs show route numbers. This has resulted in unnecessary confusion when approaching complex intersections and the street name isn't listed on any of the direction signs. In addition, Magellan tech support has been virtually impossible to reach, either on line or by phone. An e-mail I sent on their tech support web site three months ago has yet to be answered. I am well-aware that all GPS units have issues -- roads and POIs do change -- but based on my experience with my Tom Toms, I am extremely disappointed in the Magellan, especially after paying a premium price for the unit.

Magellan RoadMate Pro 9165T

Very happy with the unit, does just as advertised, easy to see & understand.

Navigation Features

GPS Receiver: The Magellan RoadMate Pro 9165T is equipped
with a WAAS/EGNOS-equipped GPS receiver. It receives tracking signals from
numerous satellites, updating your position once per second. This receiver
provides positioning accuracy down to 3 to 5 meters (10-16 feet).

Note: Please note that the Magellan RoadMate receiver is
a receiver only and does not transmit GPS location signals. Neither the
receiver nor the vehicle can be tracked using the Magellan RoadMate Pro
receiver.

Note: The first time you use the Magellan RoadMate it
may take up to 4 minutes to compute your location under normal conditions.
With adverse conditions (not having a clear view of the sky) the time to
compute your location the first time can increase.

GPS Positioning: Setting a GPS position is useful if you are
not getting satellite information quickly because the Magellan RoadMate Pro 9165T
has traveled over 500 miles while turned off. Setting the GPS position will
allow the unit to compute which satellites are available and calculate the
position quicker.

GPS Status Screen: The GPS Status screen uses green bars to
indicate that the Magellan RoadMate Pro 9165T is using certain GPS satellites to
compute the position. Orange bars indicate that the Magellan RoadMate Pro 9165T
is trying to lock onto a satellite signal and no bar shown indicates a satellite
that is not being tracked. The longer the bars, the better the signal.

Map Data: The RoadMate Pro 9165T comes with detailed maps and
destinations of the United States (including Alaska & Hawaii), Canada, and
Puerto Rico, preloaded onto the built-in flash memory.

Note: Map upgrades are available for purchase from the
Magellan website (www.magellangps.com) using the Magellan Content Manager
and can be downloaded to an inserted microSD card (sold separately).

7" Touchscreen Display: The unit features a large
anti-glare, 7" WVGA touchscreen display. The display's brightness can be
adjusted for easy nighttime and daytime viewing. With the Auto Night Mode, the
screen will automatically change from bright colors in daytime to dark tint
colors for nighttime use.

Auto Night Map Display: In Auto Night Map Display mode the
unit's map screen is displayed in vivid colors for daytime use and a dark-tint
colors for nighttime use.

Magellan's exclusive OneTouch favorites menu. The OneTouch menu provides easy
access to those destinations and searches you use most. The OneTouch Favorites
menus provides instant access to your personalized bookmarks of favorite places.
You can bookmark your personal favorite destinations, and access them whenever
you want from the OneTouch menu.

Keyboard Options: When entering your destination or other
data, you can use the on-screen keyboard to spell out the name of the location.
You can choose to use the standard QWERTY keyboard layout, or switch it to an

Search narrows your address and city searches, making destination entry easy. To
help you make sure you enter in the correct destination, the RoadMate Pro 9165T
will automatically correct spelling errors and complete your destination
address. QuickSpell with SmartCity search also uses information in the unit's
database to limit the keys that need to be pressed, presenting only those which
can access information in the database.

Text-to-Speech: The RoadMate Pro 9165T is equipped with
